Instructions: Buttermilk Coleslaw Recipes
Step 1: In a large bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, sugar, celery seed and black pepper. Fold in the coleslaw mix, and refrigerate until serving. This tastes best if it is refrigerated for a few hours before serving.
Just a tad on the sweet side, I'll cut the sugar next time. Still, the buttermilk gives it a clean tang. Better than any bottled slaw mix I've used.
I think this is 2x the amount of dressing needed for the amount of cabbage. So I reduced accordingly. After a taste test I added a generous squirt of lemon juice and some freshly ground salt.
This was pretty good slaw, felt it lacked a bit of flavor. Would perhaps add green peppers next time.
Very creamy, but good basic recipe that you can adjust however you like. I only swapped out buttermilk for 2 % milk/vinegar (about 1tsp vinegar for every 1/2 milk) because I just don't use buttermilk so why buy a whole container? I grew up on KFC coleslaw so that is my go-to but nowadays most slaws aren't this creamy so maybe cut way down on the mayo and milk. You can always add little by little. I also added a couple squirts of lemon juice and twice as much black pepper as it calls for. Finally, this makes a LOT so cut in half unless you're bringing this to a big family picnic or something.
I found this really bland, so I made the following changes: added sugar, lemon juice and finely chopped onion. I don't have quantities, I just experimented until I liked it. After the additions, I liked it better than any other coleslaw recipe I've ever tried!
I only used 1 16oz coleslaw and I think it worked just fine will make again
This was a hit! I doubled the recipe and halved the sugar.
Super easy and tastes wonderful.
The addition of some crushed pineapple improved its taste.
